How to Sand and Polish Epoxy Resin to a Glass Finish
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лис 2019
- Today, I will show you how to sand and polish epoxy resin to a glass finish. Having a resin project is nice, but having a resin art project that has a crystal clear glass finish is satisfying when you know how to make it happen. I show you how to dry sand, wet sand, use abrasive paste, and buff your resin lathe projects to a crystal clear, shiny finish. I hope you enjoyed the video!

Great find. 💪
Finally resin polishing explained. Thank you. Cheers from Canada.
Michel Brunette Very welcome Michel. 👍👍
I use epoxy from the epoxy store. Just got everything I needed to start and finish a project. And now I'm studying.
Sweeet… have fun!! 👍👍
@@JakeThompson the first ideas are pretty hard. Tryin to figure out molds
Wow!!!! I now have an appreciation for polished resin. Great video.
Big Wanda Knows Thank you Wanda.. 😄😄
As a Yorkshire man ,, I approve of you using Yorkshire Grit :D

Thanks for such a detailed video describing each step in properly sanding & buffing resin. 👍🏻
Very welcome Joyce, glad you enjoyed it. 😀
Very good video, fills in the gaps from others I've watched. I think now I understand the process. Thanks
Stephen Von Bokern Very welcome Stephen. I’m glad I could help you out.
Great, thanks! I would add that the better the mould is for the resin, the less work you have to take out scratches afterwards. Always worth spending time on making the template and the mould as perfect as possible.
Silvia Hartmann Great Advise Silvia. Thank you! 👍👍
Even if nothing else was useful, which it WAS, there were two really good tidbits in there: first, I knew that lathe artists often use denatured alcohol between grits, but not WHY. Second, that tip about using woodworking wax grit to polish headlights is SUPER COOL!
Thank you, this is a great video!
Thank you Victoria. 😄😄😄
Yeah! Going to see it it will work on my headlights. :)
I didn't know it took sooooo much work! That's amazing!
Debbie Nix Once you have the right sandpaper and technique down, it’s still lots of work but it takes less time with practice.. I’m glad you enjoyed!
Bro. .... BRO. ..... These 2 videos are perfect.
I was totally and completely doing my projects all wrong.

That mesh sandpaper you use - I’d not heard of it before (except a similar product I use when sanding sheetrock mud).Brilliant! I checked out your links to Amazon and am purchasing some for my lathe work.
I’m enjoying your videos; you’re acqainting me with resin. i appreciate your whimsical creativity and your clever finished products.

Dimensionswoodworks 😂😂 Anytime Brother!!
Awesome thank you for sharing your video
Wally Ortiz Very welcome Wally!! 👍👍
Hey Jake! DOUG suggested we come learn some of your techniques for sanding and polishing resin. I use the micro sanding pads on my small stuff like acrylic pens and bottle stoppers. One thing I learned when I used to do body and paint, while wet sanding a panel I’d use a few drops of dish soap in my sanding water. It breaks the surface tension and the water stays with the project and doesn’t dry out as fast. Give it a try and see what you think. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tip Augie.. I’m glad you come by for a look.. I hope you enjoy the videos. 👍👍👊
Great teachings iam starting to work with more epoxy resin you and my home town guy pole barn production are my go to. On the water changing i use a spray bottle put the sandpaper over a bowl load up then a quick spray on the piece just a thought Please dont stop teaching have a blessed day
Thank you .. great tip.. I’m glad you enjoy the videos 👍👍
Thank you. I been doing some of this
🦾🦾🦾
Thanks Jake, Well done, Good info
Thank you for watching Ed. 👍👊
Awesome i was wondering about that before i start to do some clear moldings. Appreciate it :)
Angela’sMixedmediaarts 2019 Thank you, have fun casting. 😄😄
Awesome
👍😀👍
FINALLY a video that shows in gory detail what it takes to make resin shiny. A lot more to it than most admit. Really great and thought out video, thank you!
Susan Sinclair There is a lot to it.. just knowing the steps makes the process faster and less painful.. lol
You make a very good video you go in to great detail. I never of cleaning between sanding.
Thank you John.. I’m glad I could help out. 👍
Hello everyone!! I hope you got something out of this video! Thank you for dropping by. Check out some of my blanks HERE www.northsidecustomcrafts.com/new-products
Bino White Awesome!! I’m happy you found my videos helpful!! That’s what it’s all about! 👍👊
@ 4:50 I saw a really great idea for that on Alec Steele's channel. Will Stelter shared his technique of using @ 1-2cm wide strips of sanding paper backed with duck tape to extend the life of it. It would work really well, here, too, I imagine. It's almost like super big dental floss that way.
@@victoriaeads6126 😄😄

Hi Jake
I've made a few dozen resin projects over the years and have always been happy with my results and final polish, however this explanation is brilliant and I'm sure it'll improve my work.
I've never thought to sand sideways and a couple of times I've discovered ridges 3 grits to late. Feel foolish now.
Thanks for the help
Brian Thank you for watching Brian! I’m glad I could help you out. 👍👍👊
Love this video! I have that exact same lathe and face shield. I personally have used Micromesh and plastic polish on my pens. I think I want to give this a go sometime, though.
Awesome… I’ve done some bottle stoppers like this and came out pretty well 🤓😄
Thanks again.
gsilcoful Very Welcome!
Great video Jake. Keep'em coming, also: Happy Thanksgiving :-)
Gary Spruill Thank you very much, Happy Thanksgiving to you too!!
Much Gratitude and Appreciation. Magical Miracles Beautiful Divine Beings ✨

Hey, thanks for spending the time to explain the process and the expectation in a result as you work. As a carpenter for over 20 years that is now taking resin art seriously, I really appreciate the detail you put into teaching us your methods without discounting other ways to do things. It helps me keep a broad scope of ideas in working different surfaces/sizes/shapes. Thank you! Do you have an email I can send specific detailed questions about my own projects?
Thank you for watching Kevin!! Instagram or Facebook messenger are probably the best way to get ahold of me. 👍
Oooh man !!!! I fall sleep twice during your video.....
And still woke up to comment.. Awesome!
GREAT TIPS JAKE THANK YOU.FROM DOUG IN HOUSTON
Fleets Wood Shop Thank you Doug!! 👍👍
The finishing side of resin was a bit of a mystery until now, thanks for sharing! Like and sub for you today.
Gord Roberts Thank you Gord! Glad you enjoyed the video. Plenty more to come!! 👍👍
This is pretty much how you make a lot of materials clear. Can be done on headlights and things like that to restore them. So it is not just for resin. The basics are shown here in this video which is to go from heavy duty to light sand paper while switching to wet sanding at around the grit they suggested. Then moving onto compounds. You can apply this so many different things.
Hi Jake, Found this video from Doug's Channel. Great tips on sanding. I use Yorkshire Grit on all my wooden projects but had never thought of using it on resin. Cheers, Huw. PS Have subbed.
Sorry for the late reply. Some comments got past me, but i'm glad you enjoyed the video and Subbed, Plenty more to come.
